Setting the story 20 years later might not have worked, as by 1984 the number of nuns teaching in Catholic schools was way down. Young ones like Sister James had almost vanished.

at this point the academy awards are far out of touch. they've diverted down their own little path towards boring drama movies that almost nobody saw, or were even able to see.

some of these nominations are sheer garbage. average movies, not even close to great, nominated strictly to shut out entertaining movies and to reaffirm the academy's ironclad committment to predictable, uninteresting drama. many of these films were made from a formula designed specifically to try to secure an oscar nomination. they were gunning for one of the academy's throwaway nominations right from the very start, right from the moment the script writer turned on his microsoft word.

the academy now deliberately ignores well made movies that a good amount of people enjoyed, if the movie had a single major action sequence or was funny or entertaining in any way.

The big question regarding this movie in the minds of Catholic school students is, "What's with the strange headcoverings?" They look like they wandered off the set of "Guys and Dolls" where they were playing extras in the Salvation Army. Perhaps Shanley knows of some order of nuns who copied their habits from the Salvation Army, but in my long life as a Catholic, I've never seen anything like this.

P.S. Your Google sign-in doesn't work.

For when future people find this post: www.scny.org

The Sisters of Charity of New York predate the Salvation Army by quite some time (several decades), although you're right that the uniforms are similar. I actually kind of prefer this quietly dignified look to the more well-known types of nun habits.

Sorry, Anonymous, that I missed this a month ago. Doubtless you will never see the update, but in case you do, here it is.
